I was hunting leopard in the Bubye Valley Conservancy. My cameraman suggested that I use the video setting on my trail cam as he realised that it would be too dark for him to use his professional camera – he hoped to get some useable footage from this. Unbeknown to us, this leopard had discovered our blind on one of his nightly walkabouts. On the last day of our hunt, when we were removing the baits prior to departure, we discovered that this cat had waited until we vacated the blind before he came in to feed in broad daylight, thus gifting us with this amazing footage.
They are truly incredible creatures and it is a rare treat to get daylight footage such as this.
